About the Club
The purpose of the Camera Club of Laguna Hills is to promote and advance the art of photography.
To do this, we hold the following periodic evaluations:
- Digital Evaluations with non-Club member judges
- Print Critiques with non-Club member judges
- A Slide Show Competition where the audience votes to determine the top three

Meetings
We meet twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at Club House 3. One meeting is a slide show presentation, and the other is an evaluation or a speaker. These meetings are a good place to learn about photography. We also have biannual dinners where awards are presented and a good time is had by all.
End of Year Competition and Awards
At the end of the year, we hold a competition with three judges to select the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category present awards to those winners. We learn a lot from the judges' comments on how to improve our pictures.
